3-IN-ONE Motor Oil, 3 OZ [24-PACK]

I took them apart 3 years ago and used the 3in1 oil in the black bottle. Trouble is that oil becomes a black tar so I had to take them apart and do them again had to wire brush off the black tar . I used 30weight none detergent oil on the Lakewood and this sears compressor oil that does not state what type it is. Both these fans have oil ports and a wicking packing yet it has the old wrong oil. Both fans began the make noise on the front bushing , these are not bronze bushings they are steel. I had to keep removing the front cover and wipe the slight black film off and work the shaft in and out to clean this and re oil until they were clean. I got this oil because the Patton fan kept doing this so I used this oil and its been fine for a month and no noise. If they start this again . I need to remove the old packing because when the bushings get hot the wrong oil gets back in then use this oil on both. Point is I cant use the oil ports because of the wrong oil in the old packing will get back in the bushings. With heat alone it does. I will wait until any noise starts again then replace the packing and use this oil and should be fine. These fans are from 1991 . Took years before either made noise , I have no idea if the wick packing was oiled and the bushings or why wick packing was used for steel bushings, I assume its for holding oil released by heat. Point is dont use anything other than this 3 in 1 20 weight none detergent oil thats what Mcmillen who makes these old motors told me to use 20 weight none detergent motor oil.

Didnt realise its a synthetic blend. Works fine. Smells a little like artificial bannana like triflow lube...

Lubricate my furnace motor

I bought this oil to stop my stepper from squeaking noises. The noise drove me crazy.. I applied all joints on my mini stepper with this oil and the noise just went away!! Noise problem is gone with only $2. I’m so happy with my puchase. Highly recommend it!

Its 3 in 1 oil so whats not to like ? Great value

Couldnt find this oil locally, it was recommended for my furnace blower motor, glad I was able to get it at Amazon, fast delivery also

Good price for a trusted name brand oil that works well.

For the price its Worth it

Good for small machinery, keep cool has a tendency to overflow and out with heat as the oil gets pushed up the straw.

electric table fan has been gradually slowing. cleaning and regreasing the metallic bearings helped for a little while but resistance to rotation was starting to recur. Re-cleaned the bearings and used the 3-in 1 motor oil. Fan spins freely again but being a thin oil, I expect to have to reapply on an annual basis, depending on duration of use of the fan. Smells like oil, not disagreeable. I use this now over the 3-in-1 general purpose oil since it doesnt polymerize to a sticky film ( at least it hasent yet).
